Car seats

Caring cabin in the car it was already part that always touched when you leave the car clean-up to salon services. Even some of the salon services are always released under the seat for easy clean-room under the car.
However, rarely salon business which also perform inspection and maintenance services as a whole seat. In fact, efforts to check the real condition and lap seat backrest to the integrity of the framework is clearly a part missing that should be done.


Upholstery care requires a long time, therefore recommended that you select an empty day to perform this operation. Here are some primary care needs to be done against the seat, for obtaining the shift comfort, set, until your sitting position.


- Remove the entire seat

Treatment should begin with the bare seat all your car seat. Front seat was removed at the order attached to the floor of the car. While the rear seat back support should also be removed. As for the type jeep, when the rear seat is still not the standard required removal.



Jeep rear seat, usually only requires provision of a lubricant, so that the folded part is secured affairs poses no difficulty. What also needs to be checked in the back seat of the jeep is penguncinya belt, is still in good condition.



- Check the integrity of the framework

After the front seat is below, check the integrity of the frame holder. The trick, try to pull forward the right side of the back seat and hit the back left side. Repeat with the press and pull the opposite direction. If the order is still good, then the flexibility is still good and there was no strange noises.



Press entire surface of the front seat holder. Generally consists of a front seat and foam. Some cars even use coconut fibers in this PART. When the pressure is felt almost the same in every part, then the front seat of your car is still good. Check the bottom of the well by turning the front seat of your car. Observe whether as still in reasonable condition.



Checking the integrity of the back seat, for the sedan and observed by inverting the base underneath which usually consists of metal plate. Make sure this section does not rust. While commercial car seats are generally similar to the front seat, then the examination can be performed similar to the observation of the front seat.




Examination sedan rear seat backrest, can be done by the same observations stand in the way the back seat of the sedan. However, this section is rarely damaged, so if you do not have weirdness of this section need not be removed.



- Check the condition of the round ottoman

Some types of cars using the system as a means of regulating roller tilt back the car. Examination of this part is more directed to convince the round is still going well. Give this section when oil was less slowly rotating roller.



Similar treatment is required for the inspection type regulator backrest tilt in the form of a lever. Make sure the work shift each time the lever was appointed still good. Damage is usually felt by the slope of the jump sizes were irregular.

A good rail is still smooth when it comes to promoting and rewind the seat on it. There are good rail cleaned by using petrol and then back rub grease to smooth the rate of forward and backward seat arrangement.



Never be afraid to disassemble the seat for the benefit of treatment. What is clear is only required removal of a few nuts and bolts for this purpose. bid ()

Antenna, OnStar

BEHAVIOR
This GM system is a subscription service that can provide vehicle tracking (for stolen cars), emergency response (notifying authorities of an emergency and its location), and other communications. Newer versions of OnStar automatically contact emergency services if the vehicle is involved in a serious accident. Some systems allow police to shut off the car’s engine if it has been reported stolen.


HABITAT
The antenna is usually found on the back of the roof, in the center.
It often has a distinctive shark-fin shape, but other shapes are used as well.


HOW IT WORKS
OnStar uses cellular telephone systems to communicate. Emergencies are handled out of two call centers operated around the clock: one in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the other in Oshawa, Ontario.
The system has a diagnostic system to sense problems, such as impacts that suggest a collision. When an impact is recorded, the system communicates to the operation centers by cell phone service provided

by the three major cell phone companies in the United States.
The service includes a built-in car phone. The driver can make and receive calls without picking up a phone. Calls are made hands-free.

Due to hasty turn off the engine

Due to hasty turn off the engine
Though these bad habits have negative impacts on future

One of the bad habits of drivers are in a hurry to turn off your vehicle engine when parked vehicle. Though these bad habits have negative impacts in the future. Consider the following description:

* We do not immediately turn off the engine turned off and the contacts to the position menggeber gas-Geber. This is very influential on engine lubricants. At high rotation engines require better lubrication. But because it directly off although there was still some oil on the walls of boring (home-cylinder), lubrication be reduced. If the machine will often be worn or broken.

* The machine turned off immediately after lauched at high speeds are less precise manner. Since that time the kitchen runway just to work hard from the trip. In the state of high-temperature engines, of course component in it is still expanding, if it suddenly turned off it will damage the cylinder wall.


* In addition, the machine is required to do continuous high speed definitely experiencing stress. These conditions make the machine state is not stable.

Habits turn off the engine suddenly after driving at high speed can cause rapid piston ring wear. Further spread to a decrease in compression so that the power to suck.

* To turn off the engine when it let stand a few moments until iddling spin machine really in a state of stationary. After that turn the ignition key to the off position. [ERF / CBN]

Antenna, Citizens Band Radio (CB)

BEHAVIOR
Long and lanky, the CB antenna bends and sways as the pickup truck it’s attached to accelerates. It pulls radio from the electromagnetic atmosphere and sends back replies: “That’s a ten-four, good buddy.”

HABITAT
Long CB antennas are often mounted on a bumper to keep them low enough to fit into garages. Shorter CB antennas are mounted on the roof or on side mirrors of trucks.




HOW IT WORKS
In the United States, citizens band radio operates in the band of frequencies around 27 MHz. Within this band of frequencies 40 channels are designated for CB use. CB users can select any of the channels to use. One channel, 16, is reserved for meeting other users and agreeing which other (lower-traffic) channel to use for conversation.

The radio wave at 27 MHz is 11 meters long. To best capture that signal, the antenna needs to be either one half or one quarter of the wavelength. One half of 11 meters would be too long to use on cars and trucks, so the preferred antenna length is one quarter of 11 meters, or 2.7 meters. That is still quite tall, so the antenna is often mounted on the lowest spot possible—the bumper. To protect the car from being scratched by the antenna as it moves, the antenna is often outfitted with a tennis ball that can bounce against the car.
In many cases, the 2.7-meter antenna would still be too long, so a loading coil is inserted into a shortened antenna. The coil improves reception on shorter than quarter-length antenna. A loading coil can be located anywhere along the length of the antenna, but is often near its base.
